It includes any person Employed by or through a contractor in or in connection with the work of the

Act, 1961 or under the standing orders of the establishment. Thus persons employed through contractor in connection with work of establishment

EPF

Contribution by employer and employee:- As per section 2(c) “Contribution” means a contribution payable in respect of a

member under a scheme or the contribution payable in respect of any employee to whom the Insurance Scheme applies.

As per section 6, contribution shall be paid by employer @ 10% of basic wages plus dearness allowance plus retaining allowance. This amount is defined as ‘pay’ as per explanation to Para 2(f)(ii) of EPF Scheme.

Equal contribution is payable by employee also. This contribution can be increased to 12% by Central Government and in fact, has been increased to 12% in most of the cases.

A person who is already a member continues to be a ‘member’ even if his ‘pay’ exceeds Rs. 6,500. However, the contribution is limited to Rs. 6,500 only [Para 26A (2) of EPF Scheme].

RPFC is liable under Consumer Protection Act:- The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner is providing service under the Act and

hence he is liable under Consumer Protection Act.

Employees Provident Fund Scheme:- This is the scheme under the Act. Both employer and employee have to pay

contribution to Provident Fund. The employee has to deduct contribution of employee from the salary of employee and has to pay both employees contribution as well as employer’s contribution by a challan in prescribed form. The amount has to pay in approved bank.

Employee can pay higher contribution:- Employee has to contribute 12/10% of his ‘pay’ as contribution. The employee can

voluntarily pay higher contribution above the statutory rate. However, employer does not have to match the voluntary contribution, over and above the statutory rate [Para 26(2) of EPF Scheme].

Contribution payable under PF Scheme:- The Principal Employer is liable to pay contribution of his own employees as well as

employees employed through contractor. Principal Employer can recover from contractor the amount paid by him on behalf of

contractor. The contribution is 12% of ‘pay’ i.e. basic wages, plus dearness allowance, cash

value of food concession and retaining allowance. Contribution of both employer and employee is same i.e. 12% each [Para 32 of EPF Scheme].

Employer has to pay his contribution to EPF:- He cannot deduct his contribution from wages of the employee [Para 31 of EPF

Scheme]. However, he has to deduct employee’s share from his salary and pay the same in

EPF scheme. This deduction can be only from the wages pertaining to period for which contribution

is paid. However, if there is accidental omission, the amount can be recovered later. Amount deducted from salary of employees is held in trust by the employer or

contractor [Para 32 of EPF Scheme]. Out of employer’s contribution of 12/10%, the employer’s contribution of 8.33% will be

diverted to Employees Pension Scheme. The balance will be retained in the EPF Scheme.

EPF Thus, on retirement, the employee will get his full share plus the balance of

employer’s share retained to his credit in EPF account.

[This diversion is only w.e.f. 16th November 95. Earlier Employer’s contribution to their credit will continue to remain to their credit].

Lower contribution in certain cases:- The employer and employee’s contribution is 12% each. This is applicable to many

of industries and establishments. However, this contribution is not applicable to Any establishment employing less than 10 persons*

Any establishment registered with Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR) as a sick company.

* As per latest amendment the No. of persons should be 10.

The lower rate of contribution continues till its net worth is positive any other establishment, which has accumulated loss equal to, or more than its net worth is positive.

Any other establishment, which has accumulated loss equal to or more than its assets and has also suffered cash loss in last two years.

Jute Industry, Beedi Industry, Bricke Industry, Coir Industry other than the spinning sector, Guar gum factories. In theses cases, the contribution is 10%.

Interest on account:- PF Commissioner shall maintain account of each member of EPF scheme [Para 59 of

Scheme]. Interest is credited to the account of employee. The interest is calculated on monthly

running balance basis. Amount standing to credit at end of the month is considered for calculation of interest

for the following month. The interest rate is declared every year by Central Government in consultation with

Central Board of Trustees of Provident Fund [Para 60 of EPF Scheme].

Employees’ Pension Scheme

This scheme has bee-introduced w.e.f. 16th November, 95. The Scheme is applicable to all subscribers of Employees’ Provident Fund. It is also compulsory to persons, who were subscribers as on 16th November, 95.

Contribution:- The employer’s contribution of 8.33% will be diverted to the fund pension scheme. Employee does not have to make any contribution. Employer’s contribution is 12/10%. In such cases, 8.33% is diverted to Pension Scheme and balance 1.67/3.67% as the

case may be, will be in credit of employee’s name in Provident Fund account. The 8.33% is on maximum salary of Rs. 6,500.

If some employers are paying contribution on salary in excess of Rs. 6,500, the excess contribution will be credited to Provident Fund account and not to Pension Scheme.

No separate administration charges or inspection charges are payable, as these are already paid along with Provident Fund contribution.

Benefits under the Scheme:-


5



EPF Members will get pension on superannuation or retirement from service and upon

disablement during employment. Family pension will be available to widow/widower for life to till he/she remarries. In addition, children will be entitled to pension, up to 25 years or their age. In case of orphans, pension at enhanced rate is available up on death of

widow/widower or ceasing payment of widow pension. Benefit of pension to children or orphan is only restricted for two children/orphans. If the person is unmarried or has no family, pension is available to nominee for a

specified period.

Commutation of pension:- The member can commute 33.33% of the pension, so as to receive hundred times

the monthly pension so commuted as commuted value of pension. Balance will be paid on monthly basis.

Employees Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme

The purpose of the scheme is to provide life insurance benefits to employees who are already covered under PF/FPF. The employer has pay contribution equal to 0.50% of the total wages of employees in addition, administrative charges of 0.01% of total wages. [Notification no. AO 503(E) dated 28th July 1976 issued u/s 6C (2) of PF Act].

The employee does not contribute any amount to the scheme. The salary limit for coverage of employees is same as that of Provident Fund.

Exemption from the scheme can be obtained from RPFC if LIC Group Gratuity scheme is adopted by employer. If exemption is granted, only inspection charges @ 0.005% are payable to PF authorities.

Benefit to nominee of employee:- If an employee dies employment, his nominee of family member gets an amount

equal to average balance in the Provident Fund Account of the deceased employee during last 12 months.

If such balance is more than Rs. 35,000 the insurance amount payable is Rs. 35,000 plus 25% of the amount in excess of Rs. 35,000, subject to overall limit of Rs. 60,000.

If the employees are covered under another life insurance scheme whose benefits are better than this scheme, an exemption from this scheme can be obtained. [Increased by Rs. 35,000 to Rs. 60,000 w.e.f. 13th June 2000].

Contribution Rate

The percentages of contributions made to PF & EPF authorities are as under. By all Employees 12% of Basic wages By the Employer 12% of Basic wages and 1.61% as administrative charges.

Thus company will bear an additional burden of 13.61% to comply with PF/EPF monthly on the basic wages for the welfare of our employees.

Check PF of Sub-Contractors:-

Is there any firm and logic way to look to it that sub-contractor complies with the PF formalities.

Consider the case of a company who hires say machines engaging 9nos of employees on contract basis. The monthly EFP challan provided by sub-contractor is of full Manpower with him. How can we ensure that the said 9 Employees are covered under the PF challan.


6



EPFOne way is to ask for copy of Form6A (Annual Return) and monthly return on Form 5 & 10. But what if the contract is given after the currency period say from April. Form 3A is generally filled up during the close of period because only good companies update them monthly but small contractors even don’t send ‘Nil’ returns.

Apart from the annual returns in Form 6A, the employer is required to submit Form 12 within 25 days from the close of the month showing the aggregate of recoveries made. Form 12 contains the name of the subscriber (employee) and the PF account number.

Form 3A is again an annual statement and will not suffice your purpose. So you can insist on Form 12 along with the PF challan to track PF compliance by

your sub-contractor.

If you engage contractors, first of all, pleasure ensure the following The contractor should have registered under factories act or shop & establishments

act and should carry a registration number.

He should have extended ESI coverage for all his employees (whoever comes under the purview of the act). You need to get his ESI registration number.

Similarly, PF registration number. Get a list of companies for whom he is providing this service and try to get opinion

about this contractor from them. Please understand that it is the responsibility of the Principal employer to take care of

contract workers. Law will penalize you on any non-compliance & you may later on enter into your contractor’s shoes, but that is cumbersome.

If you have finalized on that contractor, every month before paying his bill, get a copy of ESI & PF remitted challan for those employees who are working in your company and after due diligence, make your payment. Of course, this is an activity of finance. Yet, if you enter into with a contractor who does not have registration in the above areas, you end up in problem.
